Supply your own answer.

This is a very simple way to get to an objective morality, some would say that it is not "true" morality, because it is at the bottom selfish, and it certainly does not get you to a Christian morality. But who said that morality could not be based in selfish motivations, and I for one do not think that Christian morality is a very good one anyway.

What it does however, is it makes it plain, just how easy a objective morality is to make, and it is only one of many hundreds of ways.

@Fernapple I agree it can be selfish but also selfless. It has nothing to do with Religious morality, it is a desire to live in peace and harmony.

@Betty Agreed, the two are, of course, not mutually exclusive.

Perfectly said. I've read the buybull 3 times cover to cover, and one of those was a chronological order buybull. Fascinating how much stupidity was in there.

@HippieChick58 Once was enough for me. It was a confusing mass of fear-mongering and gratuitous violence.

@HippieChick58 I did it the bible study way and read it all once. What this means is you do not read cover to cover.They have you do it in a way that all the standard doctrines seem to be right to you as you go. When you are done you have read it all. People living in different times do not agree on everything. For example, Isaiah said nothing at all about Jesus. Neither does the Songs of Solomon,
etc. but they claim this one big book made out of 66 or more little books tells the story but the bible as we know it today came about by decree around 330 BC. Many books did not make it.

@DenoPenno I have participated in and led numerous bible studies over the years. I have read the commentariat, I know bible history. I know the claims. I know the contradictions. All in all it is the worst book ever compiled. Anyone who believes that pile of claptrap is deluding themselves.

@HippieChick58 Once was enough for me. Of course it helped that at the same time I was to read the bible suggested by the church, by coincidence we also were studying some Greek mythology in high school, and I noticed the stories were often told in similar ways. It seems most myths follow similar patterms, as I later learned by reading Joseph Campbell. However, in high school it became obvious to me that the bible was just made up stories.
